OH WE ARE SO SPARKLEBACK.

[elementcattos]

pulled up the good ol’ rng and drew the 1st 9 cattos it picked :3

plus a protactinium i drew a few days ago lol

THEM!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAY

I tried to finish off the s-block. It's supposed to be a construction helmet.

Barium is highly reactive, so it doesn't exist in its pure elemental form in nature. Soluble barium compounds are toxic, and thus has limited applications, but insoluble barium sulfate has many uses, such as contrasting in x-rays of the digestive system.

Novel ceramic material uses lattice disorder to enhance electrocaloric cooling

Electrocaloric (EC) cooling works by using electricity to generate a cooling effect, which is more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly compared to traditional vapor-compression-based cooling methods. A research team led by associate Prof. Yin Lihua from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a new route based on lattice disorder effect to improve the electrocaloric effect in BaTiO3-based systems. Their research is published in Applied Physics Letters. In their new study, Yin and his team focused on improving the EC effect in BaTiO3 (barium titanate), which is commonly used in EC cooling systems. They designed materials with a special kind of disorder in their structure, which helps enhance the cooling effect.

Mosantos owns Mary Jane they sell cali weed/cali packs, Mosantos produces poison and puts fine aluminum in your Weed so you get brain fog from all the cali then you buy a aspirin pill from the same people to cure your problems while they spray BArium and ALuminium in the sky so what you breath and inhale both is poison, dont let me start about food tho

Great, Platinum invented an evil clone of her creator (because she was jealous he was dating other women). The new Doctor Magnus created an evil squad of Metal Man. So now we get to meet Barium, Aluminum, Calcium, Zirconium, Sodium and the (presumably) most deadly of all, Plutonium! (Metal Men #2):

this was one of the few to survive the solar eclipse dunting dumpster fire, it's hard not to share;

and there's a few reasons why i was hesitant to let this one grow on me for further exploration...

it's a high Barium crystalline.

and here's a fun little piece from the msds take on it:

there's already plenty of stuff related to every part of the pottery making process that's actively trying to kill me, plus working out of a basement makes dealing with it a bit too much to be ok with. likely wouldn't be so hesitant on this end if there was proper aka very expensive industrial ventilation and/or being used on ground level [aka better air flow in general]

2. the ever-existing need to consider leaching once it's fired.

fun facts:

glazes undergo the high temps of a firing to melt and fuse the various components together. a stable glaze will have the proper ratio of fluxes, glass formers and stabilizers to enable vitrification, aka glass forming. there's some general info out there about a ballpark ratio of these but everything in this really comes down to testing every recipe.

crystals grow in a glaze when the right components and conditions break out of the glass forming bond to begin feeding the growing structure, aka devitrifying aka no longer a unified glass and all those things in the glaze can continue interacting with exposure. at a far faster rate, mind you, but still detectable with everyday use [acids and alkaline stuffs will have a heyday over time with this.] so in this setting, Barium can continue doing it's natural thing of being toxic af.

this is specifically why i use a reliably stable liner glaze on all functional interiors or food/mouth-contact surfaces for when you slurp backwash while making out with the mug you freaks.

not trying to be the reaper, rather, a considerate potter who wants everyone healthy, safe and inspired while using my work.

and for real, hard pass for dying on the job.

but it's so pretty!

so when the time is right [aka safe] i'll be exploring more Ba crystalline glazes for sculptural projects

Towards high quality transferred barium titanate ferroelectric hybrid integrated modulator on silicon

Future optical communication and signal processing systems will require high-volume optical links, wherein photonic integrated devices play a key role. Si photonics is currently among the most advanced techniques for realizing low-cost PIC. However, despite their enormous potential, there remain basic restraints on light modulation in SOI waveguides. The absence of a linear EO coefficient is challenging because of the crystal structure of Si. Many methods have been proposed to overcome these limitations. The most commonly used method involves facilitating the Pockels effect in other materials, through which EO modulation permits the realization of excellent modulation performance without additional losses. Among them, BTO is known for its high Pockels coefficient. In a new paper published in Light: Advanced Manufacturing, a team of researchers, led by Professor Junjia Wang from Southeast University, and Professor Guohua Dong from Xi'an Jiaotong University, have proposed a new way to transfer barium titanate onto silicon.
